The newborn sits within a 5.4 million-year-old solar system, orbiting a star called PDS 70. Within these so-called protoplanetary disks - which can be up to 1000 astronomical units wide (1 AU is the average Earth-Sun distance of 93 million miles) - particles of gas and dust clump together over time, slowly but surely forming larger bodies that may eventually reach planetary status.

Infrared instruments aboard Dawn established the brighter materials are made of sodium carbonate, a salt-based compound commonly used on Earth for softening water. NASA expects the spacecraft to last just another few months. The new elliptical orbit, which takes the probe from a little more than 20 miles (33 kilometers) above Ceres to a maximum distance around 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) will force Dawn to burn its remaining propellant faster, limiting its lifetime.

The eclipse will be in its phase of totality on July 27 for 1 hour and 43 minutes. It will be preceded and followed by partial eclipses lasting more than one hour. The full moon would plunge deeply into the Earth's shadow on the night of July 27-28 when the distance of the Moon from the Earth just before the eclipse would be around 406,223 kilometre, he said.

By comparison, the average distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million kilometres. "On the night of the lunar eclipse , Mars is quite close to the Moon (in the sky)". The "blood moon" eclipse is on July 27. (North American observers - who will still be in daylight at that time - will need to watch the show on webcasts.) Including the partial phases of the eclipse, the moon will be in the Earth's shadow for almost 4 hours. Consulte Mais Informação
